In ii --'gf Ptf. V THE INFANTRY BOARD QDRG,-XNIZ.-Yl'l0N AND Fl'NfI'l'IONS 'rj'-gr IHE Infantry Board was provided for as one of the permanent i Boards of the service and its organization was prescribed origin- lg ,S ally by Change No. 22, dated December 15th, 1919, to paragraph 336, Compilation of Orders. At the time Change No. 22 was issued there was no Chief of Infantry, so that prior to the time the Infantry Board was organized there was no provision for a permanent organization or group to which the pro- blems of the infantry might be presented or one Whose sole functions were the improvement of the infantry service. The need for such a Board had existed for a long time and the necessity for it had been demonstrated and more or less recognized by the War De- partment by the detail of Boards of Officers from time to time to consider matters of vital interest to the infantry. These boards were usually composed mainly of Infantry officers and were assembled temporarily to consider specific matters designated in the instructions sent to the Board and beyond which the Board had no province. On completion of this duty the Board was adjourned and years would probably intervene before another was con- vened. One of the most important of these temporary boards was the one known as the Infantry Equipment Board, convened in April 1909 which consisted of five infantry officers and one ordnance officer. The result ofthe Work of this Board was the elimination of the old blanket roll and the adop- tion of the Model 1910 infantry equipment. Some valuable experimental Work had been carried on in connection With machine guns and small arms and the equipment for these weapons at the old School of Musketry. This school, first organized in 1907 at the Presidio of Monterey, California, was later transferred to Fort Sill, Oklahoma, and in 1918 to Fort Benning. Its name in the meantime had been changed in 1917 to The Infantry School of Arms and was subsequently changed early in 1920 to The Infantry School. The Infantry Board as originally provided for was to be permanently stationed at Camp Benning, Georgia, and was to be composed of: The Commandant, The Infantry School, The Assistant Commandant, The Infantry School, 'SW ' '77 '- I 'Q.!Q?g .Www
